Mary Kate’s Breadsticks

Recently, there was a merging of two families, expanding my household from two to four children.  At the initial meeting of the four children, I decided a little cooking might be a good ice breaker for the girls.  Plus, a fun snack in the middle of the afternoon would work for all six of us.

I wanted to make something that would require very little grown-up interference.  I also wanted the recipe to allow for multiple hands assisting in the process.  Breadsticks seemed to be the obvious choice.  Rolling out the dough is shared easily, as it takes a bit of kid power to get it to the correct thickness.  Plus, with multiple toppings, each child could be responsible for one.

As I hoped, the kitchen work went well.  Our two girls, plus a friend, had fun preparing a midafternoon munchy.  The entire family enjoyed the treat, and our first day as a family of six was a terrific success.
